India
Vast, colourful and brimming with diversity, India lavishes visitors with an assault on their senses. It’s impossible to visit this country and not be impressed by its art, history and the magnificence of its buildings and scale. From the home of Bollywood in Mumbai to the splendor of cities like Jaipur and Chennai, India never fails to take your breath away. The country also has one of the largest education systems in the world and with English as the nation’s second language there are opportunities for all levels of teachers.
Some key destinations for visitors are:
Goa - A former Portuguese colony turned beachside party town, Goa's the place to head for sun, surf, seafood and, if you're game, a beach party.
Kerala - Cruising along the palm tree-lined backwaters of Kerala on a houseboat, watching local villages and lush jungle slip by while your on-board chef cooks up a storm, is an essential South Indian experience.
Delhi - Fly into the nation's capital and spend 24 hours zooming about in an auto rickshaw, acclimatising to the chaos. A visit to the 17th-century World Heritage-listed Red Fort complex, a drink at the swish Imperial Hotel for a taste of how the British Raj lived, some respite in Lodi Gardens and dinner in hip Hauz Khas village, should all be on the cards.
